If you want to declare a health variable too in only the character (spaceship) MC:

onClipEvent(load){
health=100;
}
onCLipEvent(enterFrame){
if (hitTest(_root.enemy1)){
health--;
}
_root.healthbar._width=health;
}

There you go. Just remember to make a MC and call it healthbar which will be the health bar ;)

Cool, So where would this go?

OnClip Events cannot be in other OnClip events.

That is what came up.

So I guess that you need to seperate the OnClipEvent (Load) from the OnClipEvent (enterframe)

Oh sry. Big L :P
Anyway this should be in your player AS:

onClipEvent(load){
health=100;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (hitTest(_root.enemy1)){
health--;
}
_root.healthbar._width=health;
}

I understand .

And it worked thanks.

Now, for like health, I need a code that when you get an upgrade, your health increases.

So would it be the opposite of the collision?

I have a problem with my health bar. It works and everything, but when it gets to zero, I want it to go and stop at my "game over" scene. But the script I try doesn't work.

if (_root.health == 50) {
gotoAndStop("Game Over");
}

Okay, I'm trying to work with "23450" health bar, but I can't figure out what to do for adding or subtracting. I have a button that I made that has this action applied to it:

on (release) {_root.remaining -= 10;
}

I tried a few other things as well, but I can't figure it out.

Use your code but change the bar's code to:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.total = 100;
_root.remaining = 100;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._xscale= _root.remaining/_root.total*100
}

thanks, that actually helps a lot.

make you're upgrade thing a box that you have to hit and have this code on the box:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.guy)){
_root.guy.health=150
}
}

sure there is, change :

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._width=_root.score;
}

to

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._width+=(_root.score>this._width) + ((_root.score<this._width)*-1);
}

Nifty. I need to work on cutting down on if statements... ;)

No offense but this type of negating disturbs me:
(_root.score<this._width)*-1

Just use -(_root.score<this._width) damnit >=)

{_root.healthbar.

Then what?

put this=
if (this.hitTest(_root.enemy1)){
_root.healthbar._xscale-=10;
}
on the ship mc

what do you mean wabbling? upload a sample

Try using this instead:

this._width += (_root.health > Math.round (_width)) - (_root.health < Math.round (_width));

The second one overwrites the first, have them both in the same:

function onEnterFrame () {
if (_root.health >= 250) {
_root.health = 250;
}
if (_root.health <= 0) {
_root.health = 0;
}
}

You could also simplify it a bit:
function onEnterFrame () {
_root.health = Math.max (0, Math.min (_root.health, 250));
}

ok, man, obviously you dont understand how this works. Which is ok. We all learn somewhere.
:are you ready to learn??!!
Ok. Here.

Make a bar, and put these actions in the bars actions panel

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._width=_root.health;
}
there bow put these actions in your player

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(enemy1)==true){_root.healt
h -=10;}}
:this will work
this is telling the player MC that when it touches the instance of 'enemy1' to make the health bar go down ten. Now, ad this to the code.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.health==0){_root.gotoAndStop('gam
eover')}
:there ya go.
So the finished code would be

onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(this.hitTest(
_root.enemy1)==true){
_root.health -=10;}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(root.health==0;
){gotoAndStop('gameover')}}
:im pretty sure this will work, i tested it out with Flash MX though

i hope it helped!!!!=P

This tut is on the condition of keeping the same max health or whatever the same the whole time, so that the bar never gets longer than 100. What if, you wanted the bar to stay the length of 100 but wanted to go to higher numbers in the situation of lvling up in an rpg or something. Because if you get enough hp, the bar will become too big for the screen. Any help here?

what would the code be if I wanted it to do something if health hit 0

heres the example of what you want

just for anyone that dosent quite understand this tut i found a LOT easer one here:

Congrats, we have created a working bar... currently it's aligned to the center, but you can also align it to the right by adding this._x=baseX+this._width/2

Sorry for bumping but...
using this._x=baseX+this._width/2 isn't that nessessary. You could just align the health bars registration point to the right of the health bar.

There is many ways of doing 1 thing. I suggest this way.

Yo, actually. If you want the bar to be alligned to the left or right, you could just easily move it so that little handy "+" is on the left or right (left side if you want it to extend rightwards, and vise-versa).

Month late on that one, man. Sorry :/
